With so many national acts booked for Heaven Fest, festival-goers will have a tough time picking which stage to park their lawn chairs. Expect to move about to get the best listening experience.

Some highlights and conflicts:
* Local artists Everfound opens the rock/harder stage at noon, but the brothers play only a 30-minute set. The Kory Brunson Band will be on the country/bluegrass/acoustic stage from 2:15-3 p.m. (Kory Brunson just sang the national anthem at Coors Field before a Rockies game.) But the band goes up against Jeremy Camp (2-3 p.m.) on the main stage.

* Skillet and Red overlap by 15 minutes, with Skillet on the main stage from 6:45-7:45 p.m., while Red will be on the rock/harder stage from 6-7 p.m. And KJ-52 is on the hip-hop stage from 6:55-7:35 p.m.

* Fred Hammond is on the main stage from 3:30-4:30 p.m., while Superchick is rocking on the rock/harder stage from 3-4 p.m.

* MercyMe takes to the main stage from 5:15-6:15 p.m.

* Guitar virtuoso Phil Keaggy performs from 8-9 p.m. on the country/bluegrass/acoustic stage. While P.O.D. is on the rock/harder stage from 8-9 p.m. and Shonlock is on the hip-hop stage from 8:15-8:55.

Jeremy Camp, who spots a fan in the audience, will be on the main stage at Heaven Fest from 2-3 p.m.

I’m a Denver Post sports copy editor, who covers Christian music in my spare time. I’m a rocker at heart. Grew up listening to Led Zeppelin, The Who ... classic rock is what they call it now. I was introduced to Christian rock by my cousin, Sharon. My first Christian rock experience was Atlanta Fest when I saw this new group — Third Day — playing in front of about 50 people at an outdoor picnic area.
